“Niger State happens to also suffer seriously from degraded landscape arising from issues surrounding climate change that has led to degradation of the landscape perhaps, due to consistent farming in the farming areas.

Value of these landscapes have not only reduced but deforestation have become loudly pronounced by our farming communities where trees are fallen and the land has so degraded and these are the challenges we are poised to tackle” Abdulhamid expalined.

He further explained that the ACReSAL project is anchored on three core Ministries including Ministries of Agriculture, Enviroment and Water Resources at both State and Federal levels to drive the implementation of ACReSAL project across the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He disclosed that over Three Hundred Million Naira (#300,000,000) out of the approved Nine Hundred Million Naira (#900,000,000) has been released by the state government to support the project. 

Bosso said the State Government was mindful of the importance and benefits of greening the environment which according to him informed the government initiative of hosting the recently held Green Economic Summit in state.

The Commissioner further disclosed that assorted trees and low hanging fruit seedlings have been planted and more are underway to be planted across the state.
